Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an improved connection device for pipes in general.
- The field of the invention is that of pipes, in particular flexible hoses through which a pressurized fluid (for example, liquid cement) is circulated.
- The traditional connection devices applied in this field have a threaded coupling, provided with an inner shoulder adapted for cooperating with a corresponding shoulder on the hose-holder (i.e. the fitting portion intended to be inserted into the corresponding end portion of the hose) and protruding towards the outside of the same hose-holder.
- The conventional solution now described has the drawback that the shoulder on the hose-holder requires an enlargement or increase in diameter of the thread, which causes said shoulder to protrude above the outer surface of the hose-holder.
- An increase in bulk at the connection portion of the hose ends is thus generated, which, for example, when winding up a large diameter hose (for example greater than 50 mm), can also cause breakage on the parts of the hose in contact with the protruding shoulder portion.
- The main object of the present invention is to provide a connection device for end portions of hoses or pipes, which, compared with similar devices of the prior art, does not require increased thickness of the thread, while providing the desired mechanical sealing performance.
- These and other objects are achieved with the device according to
claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the remaining claims. - With reference to the prior art described above, the device of the present invention offers the advantage of not requiring the use of threads having a shoulder protruding on the surface of the hose and capable of damaging the same.
- These and other objects, characteristics and advantages are apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the device of the present invention illustrated, by way of non-limiting example, in the figures of the accompanying drawings.
- Wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a sectional view of a threaded connection according to the prior art; -
Figure 2 is an exploded and sectional view of the device of the invention; -
Figure 3 is a sectional view of the device ofFigure 2 in the assembled state of the two end portions of the hose; and -
Figure 4 shows the detail A, enlarged, ofFigure 3 . - The threaded connection of the prior art, as shown in
Figure 1 , is denoted as a whole by thereference numeral 1. - This comprises a first hose-holder 2 fitted into the
end portion 3 of a corresponding flexible hose and locked therein by means of apressing ring nut 4. - In the
other end portion 6 of the hose a corresponding hose-holder 5 is in turn inserted, locked in position by means of a correspondingpressing ring nut 7. - At the
outer end portion 8 of the hose-holder 5 ashoulder 9 is provided, protruding towards the outside of the same hose-holder and adapted to cooperate with a correspondinginner shoulder 10 of a threadedelement 11. - The closure of the connection is made by coupling the
inner thread 12 of the mentionedelement 11 with the correspondingouter thread 13 of the hose-holder 2 applied to the other end portion of the hose. - The presence of the described
outer shoulder 9 requires the threadedelement 11 to be made with an increased thickness, such as to determine the formation of a protrusion or an increase inbulk 14 above the outer diameter of thepressing ring nut 7. When winding up the hose above theprotrusion 14, especially in case of large size hoses, it is possible that breakage occurs on the surfaces of the hose that are in contact with the same protrusion. - In order to overcome these drawbacks, the device of
Figure 2 has been made, wherein anelement 15 is used, formed by a substantially tubular body having alongitudinal hole 30. Saidelement 15 has a first portion provided withballs 17 to obtain the coupling to the corresponding hose-holder 16 mounted on theend portion 6 of the hose. - The
same element 15 has, furthermore, a second portion provided with aninner thread 19 for the coupling to the correspondingouter thread 20 of the hose-holder 18 mounted on theother end portion 3 of the hose. - Advantageously, according to the present invention, the inner diameter of the hose-
holder 16 is the same as the inner diameter of the hose-holder 18. In this way any head loss due to the presence of a change in the inner section of the duct can be nullified. - The
balls 17 provided on said first portion of theelement 15 are housed withinsemi-channels same element 15 and are introduced from the outside into said semi-channels passing throughholes said element 15, at the same semi-channels 21,22 and closed towards the outside by corresponding threadedcaps 25,26. - At the
end portion 27 of the hose-holder 16semi-channels Figure 3 ), close on theballs 17 housed in saidsemi-channels connection device 15. - The diameter D1 of the
balls 17 ofFigure 4 is less than the diameter D2 of the channel made by the described coupling of thesemi-channels - Said diameter D1 is thus smaller than the mentioned diameter D2 in a sufficient manner so as to allow the
balls 17 to be housed in the mentioned channels and to allow the circulation of the same balls in the inside thereof. - At the same time, the diameter D1 of the
balls 17 must also be large enough to achieve the necessary interference with the inner walls of said channels, so as to provide the spherical coupling with the necessary mechanical sealing. In this way any detachment in the axial direction between theelement 15 and theend portion 27 of the hose-holder 16 is prevented from occurring. - For example, for hoses with an inner diameter of 76 mm the semi-channels 21,28:22,29 have a radius of 2.7 mm, in which
balls 17 having a diameter of 5 mm engage. - Therefore, the coupling of the ball bearing
element 15 to theend portion 27 of the hose-holder 16 is obtained by inserting saidend portion 27 into thehole 30 of theelement 15, until the positions of thesemi-channels holder 16 coincide with those of the semi-channels 21,22 of theelement 15. - From this position, the mentioned
ball 17 are inserted into theholes same element 15 from the outside of the latter, thus allowing them to fall inside channels formed by the mutual coupling of said semi-channels 21,28 and 22,29. - The coupling is finally secured by closing the
caps 25,26 inside theholes Figure 3 ) is also provided at theabutment shoulder 32 to ensure the necessary hydraulic sealing between the hose-holder 18 and theend portion 27 of the hose-holder 16 (Figure 4 ). -
Pressing ring nuts corresponding end portions holders - In this way the connection of the
end portions Figure 3 . - Furthermore, the mentioned
end portions - Finally, it should be noted that the opening of the connection, on the side of the
ball 17 portion of saidelement 15, is obtained by extracting thecaps 25,26 from therespective seats balls 17 to be removed from therespective channels
